Date Picker Control Does Not Allow 4-Digit Year Input After 2035

SYMPTOMS

When you are using a program that uses the Date Picker control and you type a date later than the year 2035 using four digits, the date may be mapped to 19XX instead of 20XX. For example, if you enter 2045, a date of 1945 may be displayed instead.
